The State of Jesse Obed is a gargantuan, environmentally stunning nation, ruled by the Governor with an even hand, and notable for its complete absence of social welfare. The hard-nosed, hard-working, democratic population of 24.432 billion Jesse Obedians are highly moralistic and fiercely conservative, in the sense that they tend to believe most things should be outlawed. People who have good jobs and work quietly at them are lauded; others are viewed with suspicion.

The medium-sized, moralistic government prioritizes Industry, although Education is also considered important, while Welfare and Spirituality are ignored. It meets to discuss matters of state in the capital city of Capital Heights. The average income tax rate is 19.8%, but much higher for the wealthy.

The strong Jesse Obedian economy, worth 306 trillion betales a year, is extremely specialized and mostly made up of the Cheese Exports industry, with significant contributions from Beef-Based Agriculture. Average income is 12,532 betales, and evenly distributed, with the richest citizens earning only 2.7 times as much as the poorest.

Voting is voluntary, a large-scale revitalization of the education system is underway, Jesse Obed has designated Capital Heights as its capital city, and The Governor has just been declared ruler of Jesse Obed in an international press conference. Crime is moderate, probably because of the absence of a police force. Jesse Obed's national animal is the deer, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests.

Jesse Obed is ranked 243,908^th in the world and 9^th in San Salvador for Lowest Crime Rates, with 53.71 law-abiding acts per hour.
